Great story. Did it end on the page with the pressure testing, or was there more somewhere else that
I missed?

I too wasn't sure if that was the end of the story or not. Hope it holds up for them. Sometimes the problem with repairing blocks and heads is a subsequent disparity in temperature related expansion and contraction between the new metal and the old metal.

Hopefully, Chuck will let us know. The same thing happened with the first installment. I kept
flipping through pages, but couldn't find any more. I wish they'd put..."To be continued" or
something at the end - or "Continued on page xx" if there's more.

JB Weld that we get here in Canada is mazing stuff. Seals block cracks very tight, with no seepage.

The Smith's are using their boat for extensive charter cruising this summer. It looks like the repair is holding up well.

Did you see the comments here about the end of the article? *Was* that the end?

That's good to know. Hopefully they'll be using antifreeze from now
on.

JB Weld is a common solution just about everywhere I think. I can tell you it definitely is prone to the expansion/contraction problem. Most of the JB weld fixes I've seen eventually start leaking again.
